A press conference has been scheduled for tomorrow, but long story short, says the suit:

If the City of Dallas was divided into fairly drawn single member districts the Hispanic community is sufficiently large and geographically compact to elect four (4) candidates of their choice. The adopted plan places more than one incumbent council member in a district violating a basic incumbency rule of redistricting. Also, the adopted plan places two of the incumbent council members outside the district they represent, again violating a basic incumbency rule of redistricting.

Obviously there’s more to come; we just espied the suit moments ago. No doubt the city is unaware of its existence, but we’ve sent a copy of it to spokesman Frank Librio and will update when an Official Statement is dispatched.

Update at 11:50 a.m.: First Assistant City Attorney Chris Bowers confirmed the city had not yet received a copy of the suit.

Update at 4:06 p.m.: We just received a comment from Frank Librio, spokesman for Dallas City Hall. It reads in full:

The City believes that the redistricting plan adopted by the City Council on October 5, 2011 complies with the law and protects the rights of all voters. Among other things, the City’s redistricting plan establishes four districts where Hispanics comprise at least 62.5% of the population. The City Council has adopted this plan and the City will defend it.

The full suit is below. Steve Thompson will have much, much more in the paper tomorrow.
